From the Artist

"We take our art very seriously, and it's been an evolution," says Kane. "We've built up what we started with by adding more layers to our music. Heavier elements were added as time progressed."

Product Description

On May 3 a new sound will be unveiled to the world, a sound that can only be described as brutal and beautiful. The sound is and is not heavy metal, and therein lies the tantalizing challenge for listeners. The unclassifiable music from Gizmachi’s debut record THE IMBUING (Produced by M.Shawn Crahan (Clown) of Slipknot) is what each individual listener wants it to be. It is a sonic masterpiece that grabs ahold and does not let go. The haunting opening melodies of "The Answer" quickly turn into an assault on your senses that grips you for forty minutes until the glorious anthem "Voice of Sanity" reaches it’s conclusion. This is not music for the faint hearted and not for the thin skinned. It is designed to make you think and it will leave you with as many questions as with answers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Promising debut, July 1, 2005

I bought this CD after seeing the video for the leadoff track "The Answer" and being impressed by their unique sound. The disc doesn't disppoint. Gizmachi manages to be an interesting mix of some of the heaviness and cool percussion of Slipknot (no surprise), the odd time signatures of Meshuggah, with some of the melody of bands like Killswitch. Good stuff--unfortunately I think their retarded moniker has at least something to do with their relative obscurity.

I'm looking forward to seeing them at Ozzfest, even if that means getting there at 9 am...

5.0 out of 5 stars The Album that Can't be put Down, April 23, 2006

A band that caught me by surprise. This album is like food for my soul. I practically live on it now. It is that good. I cannot put this album down and always keep going back to it. They are awsome in lyrics, guitars, bass, drums and everything they do. They are "perfectionists" and this album (their first) shows it. I haven't seen a band that performs this good. Some have come close, but it is as if this band has no flawed songs. My ranking of the songs are the following:
Romantic Devastation
Voice of Sanity
People Show
The Answer
Wandering Eyes
Bloodwine
Wearing Skin
Burn



Wearing Skin

If you like metal this is your band. They have been the best band I have ever heard. I can listen to this album over and over and over and never get bored with it. The best song by far is "Romantic Devastation" because of its pure energy and great vocals. My second favorite song is "Voice of Sanity." This song first starts off hard and sounds like it won't be up to what most of the other songs have sounded so far. However, the deeper you get in the better it gets, from mid to the end completely blew my mind. It really shows what talent that Gizmachi has. All of their songs are great. This has been the best band I have heard in a very long time and I personally do not think any metal band comes close to performing an album as good as these guys. This cd has been in my cd player for 4 months now and still going strong.

To sum it up... If you like metal or like pure energy music, this is the album for you. I call this album "The Album that Can't be put Down" because it is that good. I hope to see another album from them soon.
